Replicator ORIENT C2 Backbone — Prototype Contracts (Viasat, Aalyria, Higher Ground, IOT/AI)

The Replicator ORIENT C2 Backbone prototype contracts, awarded by the US Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) under the Department of Defense's Replicator initiative, went to Viasat, Aalyria, Higher Ground, and IoT/AI to develop resilient command and control (C2) solutions for all-domain attritable autonomous (ADA2) systems. This Opportunistic, Resilient & Innovative Expeditionary Network Topology (ORIENT) project enhances C2 resilience in disconnected, disrupted, low-bandwidth, and intermittent environments, enabling heterogeneous collaboration across domains for systems primarily targeted at US Indo-Pacific Command.
